Project banners from Anete Viktorija and Kristīne
Anete and Kristīne want to present you the banners they have made for the project.
Anete drew a green leaf- we need plants that produce oxygen for all living beings. If we do not follow this principle- RECYCLE- REUSE- REDO- RESPECT, we won't have any life on the earth.
Kristine's idea is similar. She drew a flower, the picture is " Hippy style" , so to say- live in peace and harmony with the Earth.

Students making their own paper
First grade (age 12-13) students from 6th secondary school of Drama participated in a workshop about recycling organized by the Environmental Institution of Filippoi. During the workshop students were informed about the problem of waste, about ways of recycling, composting and reusing, and they pondered on how they could reduce waste. Directed from the trainers of the Environmental Institution, students created their own recycled paper. This activity was not only didactic for students, as they learned the process of paper recycling through hands-on experience, but it was also convivial, as you can watch in the video. What is more important, students sensitized on the issue and value of recycling. The paper recycling activity is easy to handle from most middle school students; as you can see in the video only common resources and hardware are required, while the duration of the whole process takes no more than 15 minutes.

Agate's collage about waste reduction
Agate says that people in Latvia start thinking about the nature, environment and pollution. We should at first clean the mess that we have produced, so every spring we participate in joint work. People who clean the environment actually do not pollute- the more people take part in joint work, the less dirt and waste we will see in our neighborhood.

Take a photo of trash-Stavroula
Hi I am Stauroula and i live in Drama.this is a picture of my neighbourhood where you can see for yourself there is a serious problem of litter.I believe that somethingmust be done about this because are in great danger of infection and disease.
A porsible solution to this problem would be more regular collection of rubbish by the conul.In addinon when the bins are full,rubbishshould be kept at home until collection day.If bags fuull of rubbish are left outside the bins,they until be opened by dogs and rubbish will be scattered alla over the streets.

Take a photo of trash-Chris A
Hello My name is Chris and I am from Greece. I live in Drama.
In this picture I can see a lot of trash.
That isn't a rubbish dump! It is a bin!
I believe this is due to unemployment.
Many people would like to have a job to live.
May exercise this profession by helping both themselves and the environment.
I think this is right.

Nowadays, the pollution of our cities is highly increased. The atmosphere is daily polluted by the toxic gas from the vichiles. Moreover, the factories tend to throw toxic wastes into the sea and this causes it's pollution. The goverments should find more effective ways in order to reduce the pollution of our world.

Hello,
I’m Dimitra , I’m 14 years old and I’m from Greece. I live
in Drama a town of Greece.
Unfortunately, the town council doesn’t pay its employees to pick up the
rubbish. So , when the bins are filled up the residents throw their rubbish on
the streets. As a result our town looks
polluted, neglected and dirty!!!

Why reduce waste? Propose some ways!
watch the following funny video where 2 recycled dolls talk about waste reduction:
In case you do not understand their dialogue, read the following text:
Why reduce waste?
A large percentage of households do not recycle enough and throw everything that they consider “rubbish” into their ordinary bin. However, waste reduction requires more than good recycling habits; the aim of waste reduction is to minimize waste before it is produced! In other words we must try to bring home less products that will end up in the trash bin and to reuse as many items as possible.
How to do that?
Analyze your trash for a few days to get familiar with the stuff you throw out (it might surprise you!) Then, think about how you might reduce your trash by changing some habits. Below there are some suggestions to reduce the amount of material that requires disposal:
Now it is your turn to think about ways to reduce waste. Write your suggestion on the comment section below and share your thoughts with your peers!

- Buy products in reusable or recyclable containers.
- Don’t buy disposable products when you can avoid them.
- Patronize restaurants and other businesses that use recyclable or biodegradable wrappings.

Take a photo of trash-Thodoris and Koulelis
Hi we are Thodoris and Koulelis. For years now the environment, due to the negative impact of man and reckless behavior, has started the countdown. Few are those who watch over the environment.
The environment is the physical shell that lives every living organism and therefore the destruction would mean that one daylife will be extinguished. There are many ways to protect and not pollute the environment.
Do not throw trash out, so there are garbage bins!!! There are recycling bins and we can throw recyclable rubbish there!!!
To participate in environmental programs to sensitive about it.
Also we can make holidays green or go green at camp!!!
To use the car less and more public transport, cycling or walking so that we can reduce the pollutants in the atmosphere.

Take a photo of trash-Stella
Hi, I’m
Stella Kosmidou and I am 14 years old. This is the photo of a recycle bin,
which is placed in front of Drama’s
court at Palaiologou street.
Many citizens pretend that they want to preserve the city clean by recycling
and keeping their trash indoors for the weekend. But look! The bin is overfull.
Couldn’t these ‘’conscientious’’ people keep their trash at home
for the weekend and throw them out on Monday when the garbage truck could
collect them? Not even they didn’t keep their trash at home, moreover, they
left them on the pavement where people pass by and stray dogs and cats ‘’ play
‘’ with them, spreading diseases. We shouldn’t blame only the citizens. The
authorities have to place more bins in a such populous area in the centre of
the town.
Take a photo of air pollution - Cristina
We are always see a smog in sky or grey clouds…
The cloud is visible and felt by all leading to large air pollution
Is relatively low height above the surface.
This is due to exhaust in combination with apnea and sunshine.
This can be harmful for our organization. We must reduce the exhaust.
All together we can do more!
